Postgraduate Certificate & Diploma of Professional Studies in Education
A combination of taught sessions and supported workplace-based study allows you to add qualifications to your professional development portfolio while focusing on improving your own work in the setting. All credits are at Masters level and can be used towards an MA.

MA in Education
The MA programme has been designed to sustain flexible advanced study through weekend modules. The full course extends over two years, followed by supervised dissertation preparation. The transfer of credits from previous qualifications, including NPQH, can shorten your route to an MA.

Bespoke Courses
We can also design a bespoke PG Cert, PG Dip or MA course, tailored to the requirements of your group.
